Meg the Builder
WeThreeBoyz got a portable basketball hoop for Christmas. Unfortunately, it came in a big, heavy box unassembled; but we have Meg the Builder for a wife/mother, so no worries.
New Year's Day proved to be rain-free, although quite chilly, so after taking down the Christmas tree and sundry decorations (and putting away everything in the attic, thanks to my awesome new ladder), I started the build process by dragging the box out of the garage and into the driveway. I organized some of the parts and completed some of the simple steps until Meg took over and finished the remaining 98% of the job. It took several hours and numerous numb body parts, but we had it up and working before bedtime. Aaron and I tested it out for a few minutes before retreating from the cold night air. The hoop can adjust anywhere from 7.5 to 10 feet, and it was great that Aaron could make baskets at the lowest level.
Some men might feel intimidated that their wives are more mechanically-inclined than themselves, but I'm glad that we both just do the jobs that best suit or strengths, regardless of the task.
